7 months

Aiden turned 7 months on Sunday.  Last week I took him into the doctor for a rash and so he got weighed, which was nice because otherwise we wouldn't get to have him weighed until his next check-up at 9 months. He is 18 pounds 9 ounces.

A lot has happened in the last month.  We now have an incredibly mobile baby on our hands!  Let me get into some more detail.
  • Trent had to lower Aiden's crib mattress because Aiden was able to see over the side sitting up.

  • He is now full on crawling and he can move fast!  Now I really feel like I can't get anything done!
  • As you can imagine, because Aiden is so mobile now, he is getting into everything!  I'll probably do a separate post with a bunch of pictures in the next few days!
  • Aiden figured out how to push himself up into sitting position. As a result I found him asleep in his crib like this a few times. I'd have to come in and pull his feet out from underneath him..ha.
  • Going along with the last point, now whenever I am changing Aiden and I take off his wet diaper, he immediately flips over and sits on his bare bum and I have to kind of wrestle him back down to put his new diaper on..haha.
  • It was probably a few days later (after he figured out how to get into sitting position) that he figured out how to pull himself to standing.  The problem is that he can't figure out how to get back down now!


I was in the shower while I thought Aiden was napping and he pulled himself up and got stuck for a few minutes.  Poor baby was not happy. 


For those who think Aiden is always happy, I actually have video of him fussing.  This video makes me laugh!

  • We are now feeding Aiden twice a day.  He's a good eater :)
  • He has learned that when the camera's out, he should smile!  It's hilarious!  It's hard to get candids anymore because he usually turns his head and smiles..haha.
  • We aren't great about brushing his teeth (luckily for now it's just to get him in the habit), but when we do he seems to know the drill :)

  • Aiden used to like the vacuum, but now it's a little scary.  He was cautiously watching from his crib :)
  • Aiden is still saying "ba ba" and has also started saying "ma ma." It's all just babbling though.  I don't think he knows yet that I'm "Mama."
  • Aiden has been really clingy lately, which is actually pretty endearing.  He crawls all over us.  If I set him on the ground while I'm getting ready or while I'm in the kitchen, he usually makes his way over to me and pulls himself up on my leg.
  • Dad finally came to the pool with us and swished Aiden all around the pool.  He loved it!  We plan on hitting the pool every weekend :)

  • Because Aiden is moving around so much he often bumps his little head on things.  It's never hard, but lately anytime this happens, even if he just taps it, he dramatically throws his face down to the ground and cries.  The "crying" usually only lasts a few seconds and if I pick him up right after it happens, he stops "crying" immediately.  It cracks me up!  I think he just wants to make sure I'm paying attention to him.
  • He is a total daredevil and loves that Dad throws him around and plays with him so much :)

  • Aiden seems to love the color orange.  Some family on Trent's side mentioned at a get-together the other week that this is about the age when baby's start to favor a color :)
I think that's all for now.  Aiden is such a joy in our lives and I seriously love being at home with him.  Hope you enjoyed!
